protesters on the streets of tripoli protesting against the gadhafi regime has started after a funeral of one of the protesters who had been killed by a pro gadhafi militia last week we are the reports that the mercenaries may have fired at those protesters also that security forces fired shots to try and disperse the crowds now colonel gadhafi is certainly embattled at the moment he is not in control of anywhere in libya pretty much outside of the capital tripoli the opposition forces have taken control of cities very very close to the capital and they are closing in on making a a final push towards tripoli they currently are in circled inside the city as o'er . the the city itself completely controlled by opposition forces however those soldiers loyal to gadhafi are on the outside of that city now there's some

interesting stories being coming out of tripoli probably good duffy's private jets has landed again back in the libyan capital after spending time in in minsk now it's believed that this is the same private jet billowing to get southie that was denied permission to land in lebanon last week and it was believed also that on board that private jet was after his daughter and other members of his family and this isn't the only story concerning planes belonging to the libyan leader. coming to light we're hearing that a plane may have been the same one from libya landed in belarus the allegedly contained gold and diamonds belonging to the libyan leader. the bell russian foreign ministry of vehemently deny these claims saying that there's no such plane has landed but this wouldn't be the first time if it is true has. an embattled leader of another country just last year of the former leader of kurdistan sought

solace there when he was dismissed from power in his own country so we'll be looking into that one further anything more we get on that we'll bring you here on our t.v. well on monday the lead. a u.n. i beg your pardon on monday the u n human rights council met in geneva to discuss the situation in libya and this give an opportunity for leaders in representatives from around the world to voice their concern and their condemnation for the violence that been ongoing in libya and what among them was russian foreign foreign second foreign minister sergei lavrov who had this to say. that on the mass protests across the middle east and north african countries and exposed to range of problems that have piled up for decades first of all polity unemployment and guarantees social and economic rights in general these problems should be

addressed by the people of defective countries without any coercion or external interference the use of military force against civilians is unacceptable in libya because hundreds of civilian deaths russia condemn such violence demands its immediate ization and the observance of international humanitarian law. for peace i want to bring us up to date with how the world is responding to this violence that we've been witnessing for the past two weeks during this uprising. well the european union has followed the united nations in bringing sanctions on libya and on the libyan regime now these include things like a free a ban on movements also arms embargo one of the things that has been said at this meeting in geneva has been some very strong words coming out. saying secretary of state u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton said that nothing was off the table when it came to dealing with the libya question also british foreign secretary william hague

said a day of reckoning would come for those who have caused this violence in libya well one of the things that the sanctions will bring into play is the referral of colonel gadhafi and his regime to the international criminal court now there are some that believe that should be all one of the senior officials appear before that criminal court some embarrassing revelations about his dealings with the west in recent times could come to light. magine if. only for seven because aberrational libya their. trio their you know. the international community all the shady deals all the shading financial deals with italy specially which has at least fifty billion dollars oil interests and their daughter relationships so they're actually every european government not to mention the u.s.

an arms dealer. would be a fantastic short. well any investigation into what's happened in libya is some way off what is happening right now though is a humanitarian crisis on the border between tunisia and libya as people flee from violence in the west of the country now many people have crossed over the border into tunisia some estimates put it at around one thousand people per hour crossing on monday at least of well over one hundred thousand now it's believed to have crossed the border into tunisia and they're being dealt with at the moment on that side of the border now not just those people fleeing into tunisia many foreign nationals have been evacuated from from the from libya by their countries among those countries doing just was russia my colleague oksana boyko went along on one of the flights to take people from libya and take them back to russia and found out just what it was like. propelled by fear held back by doubt and then you know those

who boarded the last russian emergency plane from libya didn't want to leave but then decided very save that story except constructor for gasper on alexy says he never cared much about them they've been politics that is until arguments are replaced by guns it's both sides it. suppresses it's people. responsible. for years it was a mantra for many foreign companies ignore get half a squirt send you'll be rewarded in oil revenues but is the levy

a sleeps closer to civil war based logic no longer seems bulletproof yet even on the russian plane there are some who said that the grim projections were blown out of proportion and to mean it has worked in only bit as a nurse for twenty years sas sure already regrets the decision to flee. all those reports by al-jazeera and all the arab language channels calls shia panic among the people in new bodies attack an entry probably there is no shooting yesterday i could easily go to see my friends all the young people all supported gaddafi hospitals are working as usual as all the people open for the everything functions people want to leave as they can. with the country awash with firearms the current law and violence increasingly looks like a calm before the storm that's why a tripoli airport is now would be easier than ever with a country scrambling to pull their citizens out our get out. he's known to crowd

himself on being a shrewd negotiator result even in the way the evacuation of foreign nationals has been carried out over the past week the government before servicing planes of the tripoli airport has more than tripled to more than eight hundred thousand dollars per plane considering that ex-pats used to make about twenty percent of the country's labor force the cry from revere the spring to be a very good source of cash blast in two thousand of its residents caught up in their unrest russia managed the evacuation fairly easily other countries didn't fare that well the gyptian uprising may have inspired cleveland's but it also left thousands of egyptians just tortures stranded at tripoli airport with very little if any assistance from their state a few years ago many countries raise to leave here whose all reserves and biggest in africa are now days even more frantically if they're trying to get out but deuce

fleeing the violence say it's just a matter of time before they'll be back to the boycott artsy tripoli. well libyan oil production down fifty percent could still the jump in prices could be just the start of a very bumpy ride surging fuel costs in the united states and threatening to derail the country's economic recovery but is also. the political price would be too high for the obama administration. to new. egypt. and the hurricane. algeria. and libya protest in countries seeming to fuel one another unrest spreading like wildfire through the middle east and north africa only raging in or near for your rich countries that helped fuel the world's use of more than eighty four million barrels of crude

a day. uncertainty over production has sent prices soaring i mean the shock waves from the middle east turmoil are being felt worldwide oil is a more supply of oil resource on the planet today controls. extremely now the mideast crisis is hitting home for outrage americans and oil prices have skyrocketed so too have the prices you pay for gasoline and now the price americans pay at the pump is threatening to derail the u.s. economic recovery a surge in oil. prices will be the end of the u.s. economy not just an end to the recovery there's no more a reality people expert michael see rupert sees happening it or oil hits one hundred fifty dollars a barrel which he believes is inevitable this year others predict it going to two hundred twenty dollars it's so devastating because oil. fuels more than just cars.

it fuels the entire global economy. though there's no doubt that if gas goes to five. dollars a gallon for americans asked some predict there would be a high political price to pay for the obama administration you know gasoline prices go up and much for a very long period. of your or. your political impact here there is no denying the u.s. has played a role in the events that have transpired in the middle east every time u.s. president barack obama went to the podium calling for this that there must be reform political social and economic reforms that meet the aspirations of the egyptian people and calling for egyptian president hosni mubarak's resignation he was calling for an end to the status quo which means a rise in uncertainty and oil rich region so did leaders weigh the toll it could

take on their own economy some argue they don't have the power to kind of waning back up trying to push their back against an avalanche and i don't think we're going to hear a lot of success and that may not stop the u.s. from trying to take control some observers believe the u.s. may intervene militarily in libya or oil reserves are massive under false pretenses of helping protesting people has nothing to do with interest. it has everything to do with the interest of the u.s. corporate oil corporations military corporate profits either way analysts say the price of fuel going up will simply fuel public rage and the government is largely helpless the american people are going for a very nasty ride and there's no way out of it now but i can tell you the government understands that it's time lauren mr r.t. new york. that article comes in there's more of the day's news and analysis for you

let's take you through some of what's lined up in fact right now but a few of the shuttle's final flight you got this so unique footage taken by an airplane passenger on his phone with want to see more glad you can also look at russian special forces being put through their paces during winter training it's a tough job it's an art gallery section if you'd like to catch up on balance wasn't great pictures but if you had r.t. dot com on just a few of what might catch your attention tonight. the people of britain are about to get probed about who they are and how they live with the latest nationwide census just around the corner but there's a fear over who will get to see the information very sensitive some of it that they tell about themselves that's because a controversial u.s.

defense corporation is in charge of collecting the data that is laura found out. it's census time in the u.k. when every household in the country is asked to provide detailed information about their lives to the government so they can keep track of what's going on and who will be in charge of this sensitive data. yes it's controversial u.s. arms manufacturer a lot martin and campaigners ranging from religious groups to peace activists to data protection lobbyists are really against it on ethical grounds play on a number of oppressive regimes but also. the u.s. heavily in the wars they fought in iraq and afghanistan are opposed by the majority of people and ruin even if supported by the british government kill vows to boycott the census despite the risk of prosecution he says he won't be alone look he'd

makes land mines and nuclear weapons and contracts out interrogation of one town of bay although it will be the u.k. arm that carries out the survey there's still a worry that the information could fall under the auspices of the us patriot act which compels personal data held by any company on systems in the us to be made available to government intelligence the office for national statistics which in age lockheed martin maintains it's taken measures to make sure u.s. authorities can't access the data. all dance processing will be carried out in the u.k. will leave will be held at any point outside the u.k. no lockheed martin staff will have access to any personal census data all data is the property of you and only u.k. you owned companies will have any access to personal census data because it's that last point that's raised red flags for data protection lobbyists who say that all

the private information collected during the census will be available to practically any organization that requests it any use on the any statute. any use by the security or intelligence services for national security purposes any use for the pursuit of pride any use in pursuit of an e u community or placation so any e.u. rules that information can be passed over so it's essentially any government use whatsoever of confidentiality is being abolished and u.k. government agencies don't exactly have a great track record when it comes to safeguarding information three years ago a file containing secrets terror related documents was left on a train more recently the national health service lost the medical records of tens of thousands of people thanks to lockheed martin's involvement in the census it would be hard for the u.s. authorities to lay their hands on that information if they wanted dated from the

census is used by the government to award grants to local councils and recognize new groups in society the census is run by lockheed martin raises grave concerns in britain about ethics and international security if a lot of people boycott the fed says it will make it ineffective and the waste of money but the two hundred forty million dollars contract amounts will go into looking at martins pockets any way your average party did. three top news stories tonight the people of chile have been marking new years since the massive a . quake killed over five hundred people and left hundreds of thousands homeless because his president led commemorations in a town that was not good destroyed by the quake protests to play security saying the government been too slow though with rebuilding shattered communities nearly half of the damaged properties remain uninhabitable now but repairs are being dogged by bureaucratic hold ups. from a british airways i.t.

nonprofessional consumer will hardly be able to tell the difference between the wild in the farms can be hard in fact you can only tasters and if it tastes good that means it has been farmed however most experts agree that demand always outstrip supply and although black caviar may get cheaper it will never be cheap carry over r t. ok you had tonight right of encourage is currently on trial for balkan war crimes soon on r t we profile the side of the former bosnian serb leader you probably won't have seen before is coming up very shortly after updated you on the hours main business stories with kareena in a few moments. iraq
